Extended Wear Contacts - Tips On Use
If you are planning to use extended wear contacts you should know how important the product’s instructions really are. The following tips will help you to keep your eyes healthy: - A pair of extended wear lenses can be extraordinarily comfortable and some people may be tempted to overlook some basic care and safety precautions that must be followed.
Never attempt to prolong the use of any extended wear contact lens past their prescribed period of wear. If you are wearing a pair of lenses that are meant to be worn for 7 days, then that is exactly what the instructions mean. You should not try to wear them for even a little bit longer than the 7 day period, no matter how comfortable they might feel. - Keeping water away from your eyes is another important rule to remember when you are wearing these types of contact lenses.
If you are not planning to remove them before swimming or showering it is best to wear some eye goggles or take other precautions to keep irritating water from your eyes and contacts. - Even though these contact lenses are ultra comfy to wear and they allow needed oxygen to transfer to your eyes they still have to be cleaned every day.
It is possible for microscopic bits of debris and dust to collect on these types of lenses and these pollutants can eventually damage the lens and your eyes. To avoid such problems as scratched corneas you must remember to remove and clean extended wear lenses every day. - Even though these lenses are made to wear for up to 30 days at a time you should make certain that you remove them whenever your eyes begin to feel uncomfortable, irritated or tired.
Just a few minutes rest and cleaning the lenses will probably help, but you might also want to let your eyes rest for 4-12 hours before re-using your extended wear contact lenses. - People who are using these contact lenses should remember that smoke and dust can create problems. Therefore you need to stay away from smoky environments or areas where dust is unavoidable. Needless to say if you are a smoker you should not smoke while wearing these kinds of contacts.
